A BFD flap is not triggered for all 'write 
mem' commands. For instance, when the 
configuration attributes changes without 
either a write or an erase+write on the 
NVRAM, the BFD is not triggered.

configuration elements are 
activated/deactivated and the configuration 
is saved using the 'write mem' command, the 
flap is triggered:
(config)#warm-reboot
(config)#boot config
(config)#boot system
